Status, Liaison and Action Item Reports

Issues List

SD3. Issue 2, documenting National Profiles: ISO/IEC TR 14766 is under development and documents National Profiles (and National Locales); and the action taken to attempt to use TR10000 has proved unsuccessful. ENV12005, provides a process for National Profile registration. This issue can now be closed.

Issue 3  remains Open.

Issue 7  subsetting. ACTION US in their plans for a revision of 1003.1 to take into account the subsetting by 1003.13, and to report back to WG15 how they propose to handle that.

ACTION Member Bodies to respond to the subsetting proposal in PDISP ballot to 15287-2 (aka 1003.13) and indicate whether such subsetting should be supported in the base standard.

PDAM-8 to 9945-1 (a.k.a. 1003.1d); draft 11 is about to enter IEEE ballot. ACTION US forward draft 11 of PDAM-8 for PDAM ballot at the same time as the IEEE ballot is started (in accordance with the sync plan)

15287-1 (a.k.a. 1003.10) has been submitted to JTC1 for fast-track and to SC22 for FPDISP ballot  ACTION Project Editor(Jim Oblinger) to determine what is happening and take appropriate action

Bob Pritchard attended as US invited expert to report on the procedural issues here. It appears that the USTAG was requested to ask WG15 whether or not to use fast-tack for this document, and this question has not yet been asked. It is also unclear whether ISPs can be fast tracked. US proposed that it be fast tracked. UK seconded. Denmark would prefer it to be PDISP. This is a general cooperation issue. Bob Pritchard said that the fast track process is being used more and more with ISO simply being a care and maintenance rather than a development body. Denmark is opposed to this trend in general. Move to amend to recommend fast track if possible, final PDISP if not. (US) UK second. Denmark opposed in principle.

15287-2 (a.k.a. 1003.13) draft 9 being forwarded to SC22 for FPDISP.

Jim Isaak has researched what would happen in the event that WG15 has no convener. With no convener, there will be no working group. An interim convener could be appointed, in which case the group would be allowed to continue. SC22 could also assume responsibility for the work, but with the volume concerned in the case of WG15, this is unlikely. The third possibility is that the work be assigned directly to a member body. In the case of WG15, the US is the natural home for all but one of the work items currently in progress, the other could be taken by TOG (as category C liaison to SC22, and current originator of this project).

Report on IEEE PASC Standards Projects

Some new ballot results have now been posted to SD11. The security projects (1003.1e and 1003.2c). have been withdrawn. UK moved to withdraw the corresponding work items. US seconded. No discussion. Assigned to drafting committee.

Liaison & Working Relationship Reports

WG9/Ada

No report submitted.

WG11/Cross Language

Keld offered an informal verbal report as members; WG11 has a PDTR out for ballot, and the LIS techniques used there may be relevant to this group.

WG20/I18N

Keld presented DTN-2.

Japan expressed concern that WG20 was developing/enhancing POSIX locales. Keld replied that it was a similar approach to WG15/POSIX, and was simply internationalization work, WG15 might want to consider the output of this process. The word POSIX should be struck from the report. ACTION WG20 liaison (Keld) to post the modified report to the WG15 reflector.

Andrew Josey presented e1234/N764. Jim Isaak noted that PAS submission on DCE interopability has become IS 15879, but is directly related to IS 15068-2, and perhaps would have been better to have been in the same numbering sequence.

UK moves to accept these messages as the draft record of response. US seconded. ACTION Andrew Josey to sort these into records of response and forward them to Keld to mount on the WG15 web site, and to continue doing this on an annual basis.

Specific Actions For This Meeting

System Administration Overview

A new action has been generated for Denmark and Canada to consider whether bodies are available to restart this work item.

Euro Considerations

Denmark has been working on two issues, one relating to an API for 9945-1 and one is an extension to locales for 9945-2 (see e1206 and e1237). PASC SUWG has reviewed this and believes it inappropriate. UK does not believe this appropriate. The Open Group does not believe this appropriate. Denmark is saddened by this negative response. ACTION Convener to prepare and forward a report on the Euro issue to SC22 and JTC1

Future of POSIX Discussions

See e1205, e1182, e1181.

Continuing discussions this week at PASC have given rise to four recommendations for short term investigation, pending a final report to PASC in July.

RECOMMENDATION #1: Form a small group with meeting planning representatives from all three organizations to address issues 1&2.

RECOMMENDATION #2: Invite "procedures experts" from the three organizations to form a standing procedures committee to address these and related issues as they arise.

RECOMMENDATION #3: Use the proposed POSIX.1 Revision as the testbed. The Ad Hoc recommends that PASC/SEC form a small group to develop a plan for discussion at the July 1998 meeting. Defer any action/decision on POSIX.2 until July 1998.

RECOMMENDATION #4: The Ad hoc recommends that PASC refer issues relating to existing work to the PASC Working Group chairs for their consideration and feedback. Further, WG15 and The Open Group should be invited to identify specific issues that need to be addressed in this area.

It was noted that all those present are involved heavily in PASC, and there may be a perception that anybody appointed here may have a "PASC bias". However, there is an urgency here, since all groups are meeting within the next two weeks. ACTION Member bodies are invited to identify additional participants for these discussions and follow-up activities.

Recommendation 4: Roger Martin to act as coordinator for comments received. ACTION All Member Bodies to identify specific issue that need to be addressed w.r.t. work in progress and co-operative development TOG/PASC/WG15 by May 31.

Jim Isaak suggested the possibility of forming Rapporteur groups to "own" logical chunks of work (e.g. C language bindings, Shell & Utilities). Member bodies could be involved in these, as could PASC and TOG. NOTE these rapporteur groups could continue to exist even if WG15 itself went away (lack of convener).

TOG were congratulated on getting the first ever PAS submission successfully completed.

Meeting Frequency and Schedule

All agreed that annual face-to-face meetings were required, with substantial email business in the interim. There was much discussion on where such an anuual meeting might be held; the US proposed in conjunction with SC22, Denmark and UK would prefer in conjunction with PASC (or perhaps TOG). The agreement is to alternate/rotate between these (SC22/PASC/TOG).

Actions Arising From Reports

These have all been addressed elsewhere.

Project Activities  Registration, Balloting, Content

9945-3 LIS System Interface

DTN-3 refers (renumbered to N768). Existing action on Keld to circulate this. New ACTION All Member Bodies to review and Comment on N768 by August 1.

9945-2 Shell & Utilities

Already covered in Action Item reports.

15068 Administered Systems

Covered all documents already.

9945-1 C Language Bindings

Substantial discussion on 1003.1g, PII. This was rejected by IEEE as a standard. However, the sync plan requires international comments to be added to a document outside of the IEEE ballot process should they be recd. The standards board has not notified the sponsor chair of the reason for failure; this is inaction, and allows appeal. ACTION US to appeal this decision.

14519 Ada Language Bindings

Nothing additional to report.

13210, 14515-x Test Methods

14515-2 awaiting final editing to make it ready for publication.

Guide For National Profiles and Locales

N766 and N767 distributed. Substantial discussion regarding whether or not the draft they have produced should be IEEE copyright or ISO copyright, and how the PAR should be handled (e.g. change to IPAR). ACTION Convener and US to suggest that material being developed for P1494 and ISO 14766 is ready to become a draft document; and has been jointly developed. An appropriate copyright statement needs to be developed for such drafts.

Cultural Adaptability workshop occurred in Canada in December. This item is FYI since everyone should be aware of this.

NP For POSIX Additional Utilities

Keld is willing to hold off this item for the moment in the light of the cooperation efforts.

Convener

As reported elsewhere, the convener is stepping down after the SC22 meeting in August. How can the work be handled if we do not have a convener. We have agreed on doing more electronically. We have agreed to go to an annual meeting. We have agreed to do more with PASC and TOG cooperatively.

Lowell observed that the rapporteur group approach requires multiple leaders, whilst WG15 only needs one. Can we get an interim convener somehow?

Canada observed that the convener must assume an international role, and that there were a number of single person delegations; if one of these countries were to change their delegate to convener, that country would lose its voice.

UK moved to continue to seek a new convener until such a time as WG15 is disbanded. US seconded.

ACTION All Member bodies to continue to actively seek candidates for WG15 convener, and to report these at the August SC22 meeting in Copenhagen.

Year 2000

Jim Isaak for information; there is a PASC project on Y2k definitions. This work is expected to complete in June. At that time it will be brought to JTC1 for fast track. UK asked how this might overlap with the BS on the same subject. It appears to be in the same space, and the BS is referenced. Technical overlap is unknown. Denmark also has similar activity going on, and would like to have input on 2000.2. ACTION Denmark to identify any experts on Y2K test methods and invite them to join the IEEE project.

Review/Approval

Resolutions

All the following resolutions were approved without objection except where noted.

98-390 Termination of WG15 Security Projects

Whereas the U.S. Development body has ceased development of IEEE P1003.2c and IEEE P1003.1e, therefore

WG15 requests SC22 to withdraw the corresponding work items JTC1.22.43 and JTC1.22.42.

Whereas there is value in using consistent numbering schemes for related documents, and whereas TOG has submitted and had approved as an IS a PAS submission which is related to a POSIX project but which is numbered differently, therefore, in the spirit of co-operation,

WG15 invites TOG in future PAS submissions, where these might best be given a consistent number with current WG15 documents, to request WG15's assistance in obtaining from ITTF an appropriate document number before the PAS ballot.

WG15 extends its congratulations to The Open Group on the occasion of approval of the first PAS submission as an International Standard.

98-396 WG15 Participation in Co-ordination Small Groups

WG15 appoints Jim Isaak, Nobuo Saito and Keld Simonsen as its representatives to the meeting planning issues group; Keld Simonsen, Nick Stoughton, and Jim Isaak to the procedures and process issues group; and, Lowell Johnson and Keld Simonsen to the POSIX .1 revision testbed group. All member bodies are invited to provide input to the question of "what do we do with existing work" to Roger Martin who will co-ordinate our response to PASC and TOG.

98-397 Endorsement of the Common Expert Group Principle

WG15 endorses the concept of having common technical working groups for the creation of future standards documents and recommends the use of its rapporteur group process as a vehicle to facilitate international participation in those groups, and authorizes the convenor to initiate the formation of such rapporteur groups as a result of the collaborative process.

98-398 Meeting Schedule and Frequency

WG15 resolves to move toward annual meetings to be held on a rotating basis in conjunction with IEEE PASC, SC22 and TOG as available.

WG15 expresses its appreciation to the U.S. Member Body, and particularly to Mr. Roger Martin, for hosting an excellent meeting and a most entertaining and exciting dining experience.

Appreciations also go to Mr. Roger Martin for acting as Chair and to Mr. Nick Stoughton (U.K.) for acting as Secretary of the meeting and to Keld Simonsen (Denmark) for supplying the LAN infrastructure.

98-403 Expression of Appreciation to the Drafting Committee

WG15 expresses its appreciation to the Canadian, United States and Danish delegations for supplying volunteers to the drafting committee (David Blackwood, Jim Oblinger, and Keld Simonsen), and for their excellent and most exhaustive work in recording the resolutions from this meeting.
